And semantic markup

TML5 for .NET Developers teaches professional software engineers how to integrate the latest HTML5 APIs and semantic markup into rich web applications using JavaScript, ASP.NET MVC, and WCF. Written from the .NET perspective, this book is full of practical applications and ways to connect the new web standards with your existing development practices

"Accessibility" has a reputation of being dull, dry, and unfriendly toward graphic design. But there is a better way: well-styled semantic markup that lets you provide the best possible results for all of your users. This book will help you provide images, video, Flash and PDF in an accessible way that looks great to your sighted users, but is still accessible to all users.

We develop a novel approach to the semantic analysis of short text segments and demonstrate its utility on a large corpus of Web search queries. Extracting meaning from short text segments is difﬁcult as there is little semantic redundancy between terms; hence methods based on shallow semantic analysis may fail to accurately estimate meaning. Furthermore search queries lack explicit syntax often used to determine intent in question answering.

We show that we can automatically classify semantically related phrases into 10 classes. Classiﬁcation robustness is improved by training with multiple sources of evidence, including within-document cooccurrence, HTML markup, syntactic relationships in sentences, substitutability in query logs, and string similarity. Our work provides a benchmark for automatic n-way classiﬁcation into WordNet’s semantic classes, both on a TREC news corpus and on a corpus of substitutable search query phrases.

Descriptive mark-up consists of codes that describe the logical structure and semantics of a document, usually in a way which can be interpreted by many different software applications. The two main open standards for descriptive mark-up are SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language), published as a Standard by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in 1986, and XML (Extensible Markup Language), which was published as a Recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 1998.

.When Mandy Brown, Jason Santa Maria and I formed A Book Apart, one topic burned uppermost in our minds, and there was only one author for the job. Nothing else, not even “real fonts” or CSS3, has stirred the standards-based design community like the imminent arrival of HTML5. Born out of dissatisfaction with the pacing and politics of the W3C, and conceived for a web of applications (not just documents), this new edition of the web’s lingua franca has in equal measure excited, angered, and confused the web design...

First and foremost, HTML5 includes redefinitions of existing markup elements, and
new elements that allow web designers to be more expressive in the semantics of
their markup. Why litter your page with divs when you can have articles, sections,
headers, footers, and more?
The term “HTML5” has additionally been used to refer to a number of other new
technologies and APIs. Some of these include drawing with the element,
offline storage, the new and elements, drag-and-drop functionality,
Microdata, embedded fonts, and others.

This work describes an online application that uses Natural Language Generation (NLG) methods to generate walking directions in combination with dynamic 2D visualisation. We make use of third party resources, which provide for a given query (geographic) routes and landmarks along the way. We present a statistical model that can be used for generating natural language directions. This model is trained on a corpus of walking directions annotated with POS, grammatical information, frame-semantics and markup for temporal structure.

With scores of practical recipes you can use in your projects right away, this cookbook helps you gain hands-on experience with HTML5's versatile collection of elements. You get clear solutions for handling issues with everything from markup semantics, web forms, and audio and video elements to related technologies such as geolocation and rich JavaScript APIs.

his chapter presents the various elements of the HTML language. This includes the syntax of character entities and markup tags and how a browser or other user agent interprets the markup to display a page. This description follows the draft specification for HTML5 developed by the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) HTML Working Group.

In a headed tree, each terminal word can be uniquely labeled with a governing word and grammatical relation. This labeling is a summary of a syntactic analysis which eliminates detail, reﬂects aspects of semantics, and for some grammatical relations (such as subject of ﬁnite verb) is nearly uncontroversial. We deﬁne a notion of expected governor markup, which sums vectors indexed by governors and scaled by probabilistic tree weights.
